Christmas Spinner Card

Hi there! In this period I'm always searching for some inspiration to make Christmas cards: I really want to create something different every year, trying different layouts, color combinations and so on.
When I saw the Ornament Round Swirl from So Suzy Stamps, I decided to create a spinner card: a card with a window and the ornament spinning around a thread.

Spinner cards are a different way to add some fun surprise to a card: when you open it, the image just spins back and forth! Let's see how easy is creating a card like this.
First of all, I stamped the Swirl Ornament twice onto some old patterned paper with Versamark Ink in order to heat emboss them with silver embossing powder. As the patterned paper was too thin, I stamped an extra ornament on a piece of white cardstock.

Then I cut them down and I glue them all together, paying attention to stick the white cardstock between the two silver ornaments and a white thread too.
At this point I picked another old patterned paper and I chose which circle die was fitting the ornament size.

I die cut both the card panel and the patterned paper with the chosen circle die, I heat embossed the Simple Christmas sentiment and I sticked them down. Remember: the thread needs to be pulled between the patterned paper and the cardstock!
